Murmillo
The guards move aside, the gates slowly rise
Exit those who died, the crowd howls and cries
I tread upon the sand, dull blade in my hand
My fighting style Murmillo, my battlecry I bellow
We stand before the Praetor, prepared to meet our maker
He signals to begin, we're out for
Blood, rushing to my brain
Gushing from my veins
Shackled in my chains
I'm all that remains
Charge, ground beneath my feet
Thunder when we meet
Lightning in the sky
The gods only know why
Slash, render meat from bone
Our life is not our own
The arena is our realm
Until we're overwhelmed
Death, glory for us all
Endlessly we brawl
For those who have the gall
To force free men to fall
His eyes, cold and cruel, signal that I'm through
We only have one rule, murder or subdue
He swings and aims his net, casts ensnaring threat
I stumble and get caught, my struggles are for naught
The trident's what I fear, the end draws ever near
The weapon finds my flesh, I'm losing
Blood, rushing to my brain
Gushing from my veins
Shackled in my chains
I'm all that remains
Charge, ground beneath my feet
Thunder when we meet
Lightning in the sky
The gods only know why
Slash, render meat from bone
Our life is not our own
The arena is our realm
Until we're overwhelmed
Death, glory for us all
Endlessly we brawl
For those who have the gall
To force free men to fall
The gash upon my arm, my life force red and warm
It ain't enough to kill, I escape by strength and skill
Emerging from his net, our fight not over yet
Our metal paints the sand, in crimson mud we stand
I gain the upper hand, and wait for the command
The Praetor gives the cue, the sand drinks
Blood, rushing to my brain
Gushing from my veins
Shackled in my chains
I'm all that remains
Charge, ground beneath my feet
Thunder when we meet
Lightning in the sky
The gods only know why
Slash, render meat from bone
Our life is not our own
The arena is our realm
Until we're overwhelmed
Death, glory for us all
Endlessly we brawl
For those who have the gall
To force free men to fall
Blood, rushing to my brain
Gushing from my veins
Shackled in my chains
I'm all that remains
Charge, ground beneath my feet
Thunder when we meet
Lightning in the sky
The gods only know why
Slash, render meat from bone
Our life is not our own
The arena is our realm
Until we're overwhelmed
Death, glory for us all
Endlessly we brawl
For those who have the gall
To force free men to fall
